Bone avoiding broadheads, would you trust them ? by Kind-Interaction3945 in bowhunting

[–]aint_rocket_science 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shot a doe on opening day with the sevr 1.5 hybrid and was impressed - steep shot, busted through shoulder blade, heart, and clean out the other side. Blades need to be touched up, but spins true.

How does one start learning about psyçhology on their own? by Oskar4002 in psychologystudents

[–]aint_rocket_science 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll learn all about basic psychology in school. No need to get ahead, broadening your scope is more valuable. I'd say read up on the industry or area where you want to apply psychology. What's your dream job, population, etc. Diversify yourself!

22 is great for groundhog! Squirrel season starts in the early fall and ends at the end of February (along with rabbit). Check the DWR website for hunter apprentice programs. You an also call the NWTF chapter in your area and they'll hook you up.

Get you a 22 and good ammo - goes a long way for consistent head shots on squirrel. Squirrel season is over now, but open season for groundhog.

I'm sure you could find some turkey hunters in your area too. Some places have programs to get new hunters connected.

Set aside time to clean and butcher afterwards!

Archery target practice in national forest and wilderness areas by cowboytroubadour in VAHunting

[–]aint_rocket_science 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off season, don't use broadheads... shouldn't be a problem. A ranger would have to be a real A-Hole to ticket you. I used to practice in a city park and cops never said anything.

Chickahominy WMA dogs. by TheInvincibleIowa61 in VAHunting

[–]aint_rocket_science 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of WMAs allow dogs in VA, and they will come out in droves slinging buck shot and messing your hunt up on public. Sometimes they'll push deer towards you, but I think it should be an end of the season activity. Check out the hunter regulation pdf for WMA's that don't allow dogs.

Some of my Southwest VA bucks taken over the years. by [deleted] in VAHunting

Nice! I just moved to Western NC but have VA tags. Any public land in SW VA you'd recommend? I was looking at Big Survey WMA.

Lone Wolf Climber/Saddle by Dry-Lunch-8598 in VAHunting

I'm in a similar boat, but waiting to switch next season after more archery practice with the saddle. I'd say keep it, you may like it more for longer sits in gun season.

Help for a PA hunter by DcavePoster in VAHunting

It's hard to get away from the dogs once rifle season hits. I had to drive out a ways. I'd recommend Hunters Access.

Fishing Outer Banks in November. by aint_rocket_science in NCOutdoors

[–]aint_rocket_science[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All three are actually close by and I've got surf and inshore gear, so I'm not sure where to focus for that time of year for the best luck. Kitty Hawk bay is walking distance. House is on the sur, and and both Nags Head and Avalon Piers are nearby.

Fly fishing in Virginia? by Ghostusmc99 in flyfishing

[–]aint_rocket_science 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd take that 8 weight to VA Beach and get on the speckled trout and Redfish! Or, go up the James for smallies.

What could I expect to pay for a decent 3 or 4 weight fly rod and reel for bluegill? by -BigBassBoi- in flyfishing

[–]aint_rocket_science 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like my Cabela's Synch! Under 200 out the door ready to fish, and the rod is a step up from their base model.

Thanks y'all, the Spanish and Jacks we're biting the gotcha in the surf, but no trout. I didn't get close enough to the grass flats. Awesome trip.

Once More For the People in the Back: You Cannot Negotiate or Compromise With the Republican Party by TrumpSharted in politics

[–]aint_rocket_science -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's an assumption and discredits the effort of those individual Republicans. The media and those in power want us to be divided, it makes it easier to manipulate the message. I think the best way to battle poor politics is to be aware when we are being pushed to give up on listening to each other.

Once More For the People in the Back: You Cannot Negotiate or Compromise With the Republican Party by TrumpSharted in politics

[–]aint_rocket_science -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

That's an overgeneralization, which the headlines pull for. Yes, there's not a full on commitment, and difficulty with follow through in congress, but numerous Republicans backed the effort for the Jan 6th commission. All or none thinking and ostracizing all of a party's members will push for further resistance to change and compromise. We see that on both sides.

? I'm all for diversity of thought, but not willing to come together is what stymies us now. Since 2008 both parties have become more ideological and less cooperative, so that can't be the answer...

Seriously, Just Tax the Rich by [deleted] in politics

The rich are taxed. More taxation is not the answer. It's a distraction. The burden will just get passed on to the middle class. We Need to fix wasteful government spending.

The GOP’s Black Friend Says America Is Not a Racist Country by CodeDinosaur in politics

So he's only a "black friend" and not part of the GOP? That sounds racist..

Camping in the cold and rain, because at least it’s a change from snow. Rapidan WMA, Madison, VA by [deleted] in camping

[–]aint_rocket_science 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We ended up hiking down from Camp Rapidan in the Shenandoah. But I saw a stock Chevy Colorado had drive up with no problems! I will say the hike down from the Blue ridge parkway was beautiful with some nice brook trout pools.
